Private Bodies, Shared Selves – not sure about which subtitle, maybe An Anthology on Self Perception and Projection

I agree that there should be a medium. I know someone who seeks talk therapy from one source and prescriptions from another. The talk – therapy, as well as exercises she performs herself, and life stressors, help […]
